I put this in the CO section cause there are many that dont have the altitude like we do to deal with, but my question is if anyones running a 1406 carb on a 383 stroker and if so what jet rod combo are you using, the reason I ask is that I leaned out my 1406 with .95 pri and .92 sec (#7) on edel graph, it ran alot better than the stock .95/.98 which was a little rich for the altitude but that was on my stock 350, this week (hopfully) the 383 will be in and I was wondering if it needs to run richer than the 350, incase you are wondering the rest of the goodies are EPS intake, hei, hed headers, dual flowmaster,

I'm not sure if I can be of much help but I just put a 1405 carb on a 327 and I leaned it out to 8% according to the chart from edelbrock. My guess would be that the carb should work fine as far as jetting. Call the edelbrock support line...they should be able to give you a better answer Tech Line Only: 800-416-8628 . Mine was running super rich with the stock jets/rods(so much that your eyes would burn if you stood within ten feet of it!) I put the new jets and rods in last night and it's a night and day difference. Plus I actually have to use my choke! Good luck with your 383 install. Hopefully I'll be doing something similar in a few months.
